Fake NSA Online Backup Site found. I hope.

A few days ago while doing some research I came across a website that made me do a double-take. It’s called “nsabackups.com” and it LOOKS like the real NSA (National Security Agency) website, using the real NSA government seals, but it is advertising an online backup service.

A whois lookup of the domain name shows a private individual as the contact, so I’m pretty sure the site is a hoax. At least I hope it is. Some links were changed between yesterday and today, so I think it’s under active development.

Poking a fire breathing dragon with a stick is never a good idea. I’m sure this site won’t be around for long. I hope these guys aren’t planning to use RBS software.
